Schizophylum commune

S. commune is a fungus.If
we wanted to classify this organism, we would need to go all the way up
to the Domain it belongs to; Eukarya.Schizophyllum commune belongs to the eukaryans because it possesses
a nucleus.It is then categorized into a smaller
Kingdom called Fungi.This organism is put into this
Kingdom because it shares characteristic of other phyla of fungi.For example, it possesses mycelia and hyphae.Then S. commune gets further categorized into the Phylum,
Basidiomycota.Organisms in the Basidiomycota all
share multiple characteristics.They produce
club-shaped fruiting bodies, produces haploid basidiospores, and the
dominant life stage is dikaryon (two nuclei).From
there it gets put into the Class, Basidiomycetes, then the Order of
Agaricales.Agaricales are known as the gilled
mushrooms.Gilled mushrooms have gills underneath the
mushroom cap that’s purpose is to increase surface area on which
basidiospores can be made.From here we move down to
the Family, Schizophyllaceae.Then from binomial
nomenclature, we know its Genus is Schizophyllum.Thus ends the complete classification of the mushroom
Schizophyllum commune.
